Nobel prize winner John Franklin Enders is spinning in his grave. Imagine creating a solution to wipe out a disease, it works for decades, and then... People just stop using it because they've been fed disinformation.

This is a perfect corruption story to support campaign finance reform. Overturn Citizens United. Only individual citizens can contribute to campaigns. Limits on individual & total dollar contributions to all campaigns. Eliminate PACs. Only print & TV ads supported & paid for by a campaign allowed.
universal healthcare built around radical informed consent is my ideal outcome & i believe everyone should have that freedom.
medical gatekeeping kills millions of people every year.
This is why I can’t do “no politics”. My body has been politicized since before birth.
Society has made my body a political topic. My friends’ & family’s.
Every thing I post, write, & draw is inherently political because it was made by a politicized body.
OP hit it on the nose.

I could go on past the C’s, but I’d rather read more books than scroll through my kindle library looking.
In the press, the emerging consensus is that Trump’s war is a failure on strategic terms. Less attention has been paid to the more basic fact: that the war is simply wrong, regardless of how successful or unsuccessful it might be. www.currentaffairs.org/news/were-at...

“I don’t just want ICE abolished. I want these thugs behind bars. I want the men getting rich off their concentration camps in prison for life.”
HE'S NEVER LEAVING.
HE'S PREPARING FOR WAR.
One major clue is the creation of a ten-story Führerbunker below the White House that'll be topped with a massive sniper tower and drone port.
Oh, and also HE STARTED AN ARMED REBELLION the last time he had to leave office.
WAKE UP.
Pope Leo XIV: Jesus told us, blessed are the peacemakers. But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.
Pope Leo today: "Blessed are the peacemakers."
"Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth."
A Senegal court has sentenced a man to 6 years in jail for consensual same-sex acts, the first conviction under the new law.

This same administration shut down Voice of America, and other information operations the US govt does.
It’s a self goal. Actions have consequences
"If you want an argument for throwing Republicans out of power, it’s that they wouldn’t even [have stopped] Trump from committing genocide. That’s what toadies they are."

So there’s no regime change, we lift all sanctions against them going back decades, they retain missile and drone capabilities, they control the strait and can charge tolls, and keep their enriched uranium. So much for “unconditional surrender.”
